In the end, the enemies' army only arrived after two days. They probably decided to march at a slow pace to save their strength. Still, in the end, they surprised everyone. Even Zaos, Drannor, and Erean were having a hard time hiding their surprises… right at the bottom of the mountain. They could see an army of one thousand heavily armored soldiers.
"It seems that they don't plan on underestimating us any longer," Zaos said.
"This is good or bad, Captain?" Drannor asked.
"It is hard to say…" Erean furrowed his eyebrows. "Ferdinand probably hired all the soldiers he could find in the nearest islands in order to get rid of the only thing that stands in the way of his goal of becoming the most influential man of this nation… us. On the other hand, if we stall for enough time, the army will lose morale, and Ferdinand will lose the support of his followers. At least some of it."
